American Pit Bull Terrier-Jack Russell Terrier Mix

If you’re looking to adopt a dog and don’t know where to start, puppyfinder.com is an excellent source for information about adopting a dog and will connect you with hundreds of shelters across the US that have adoptable puppies and older dogs waiting for forever homes.

Do your research – find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.

Decide what you can handle – before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you’re about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don’t have time for potty training and obedience classes you’ll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.

Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies – It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don’t be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet.

Start looking… Once you know what you’re looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.

Meet in person. Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can’t get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.

Posted Breed: Hound / Mixed. SusiQ is currently located in the 03773 area code. She is up to date on shots and good with all people and other dogs. She is most certainly a hound-mix, she loves her walks and scenting her way thru the woods. She rarely barks, but when she hears the coyotes in the distance at night, will occasionally join in The Big Aroo. Susie Q is a country girl at heart, the city life is too overwhelming for her so a country home in a rural setting would be best. She is a humorous girl, a little bit in her own world, and happy to join in on any adventure or car trip you may be heading out for. SusiQ came into Rescue having great difficulty with Trust. But as she has grown to trust her foster mom, she is more bold approaching people in public, and trusting that they will treat her as her foster mom does. If you would like to adopt Susie Q, please put your application in here: http://www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org

Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). In search of forever....
Rescued from the NYC ACC, staff and volunteer fave Jimmy is a friendly, low-energy Pittie mix who is a big fan of sunbathing, belly rubs, and Kongs. He needs an owner who is experienced with large dogs and understands that he may not get along well with other male dogs, but he played well with most of the female dogs he has met in the care center and is friendly with people. Due to his mellow nature, Jimmy could easily be a family pet or go home with a person who has a busy schedule. If you have lots of love, a few minutes for a walk or romp each day, and a warm spot on the couch, Jimmy is your guy!

Posted Breed: Hound / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). My name is Blossom and this is my story.... The first 4 months of my life I spent most of my time in a crate and if I wasn't in a crate I was pretty much neglected with no kindness ever shown to me. Because of my past I'm very shy and timid, sometimes afraid, but I am very sweet once I get to know you. I need a loving home where I can be doted upon and cared for and build my confidence. I am a hound/lab mix who is spayed and up to date on shots. It is unknown if I get along with cats, I've never seen one! But I MUST have a home with other dogs. I am fearful of the leash so I need a fenced yard, but I am housetrained and I do like people and kids who are older. If you want to adopt me, you must speak to my foster first.

Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adopt Millie! We saved Millie - she had been fo und malnourished down south and brought to a high kill rural shelter. Millie is now thriving in a foster home, however what she really wants is a forever home... Here's what her foster mom says: Millie is very friendly and polite with all people and all dogs. Her entire body wiggles when she greets you. She doesn't jump, walks nicely on the leash without pulling and doesn't bark. Millie is very very friendly and gentle with our big cat and doesn' t chase him. She gets along very well with our own dog, loves to play and takes herself into her crate for a nap or the night. She is crate trained and now potty trained as well... Millie is wonderful and kind and extremely well behaved.. She is around 2 years old and 50 lbs.. She really can fit into most any home.. She is still looking for her forever home, so please consider Millie!

He's such a good boy who everyone falls in love with! Rufus is doing very well with other dogs now which took time after his horrible attack. Rufus is back at the vet because he needed DOUBLE knee surgery!!! He had his first surgery yesterday & is looking for a quiet place to recover. In 2 months, his second knee will be done.
